Stable Black Strings from Warped Backgrounds

A bstract We show that spacetime curvature alone can classically stabilize black strings. Working within a consistent five-dimensional dilaton-gravity system with a flat brane, we find that sufficiently large black strings are classically stable when they extend from the brane to...

Characterization of quasi-periodic and chaotic dynamics in a memristive MEMS: parameter-induced transitions and thermo-sensitive modulation

Abstract This work presents the mathematical modeling and numerical characterization of a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) integrating an HP memristor coupled to electrical and mechanical resonators. Based on the linear-drift HP memristor model, the nonlinear electromechani...

The Shortest Path to Zionism: A Network Analysis of the US Nonprofit Industrial Complex

Activists have shown how the nonprofit industrial complex (NPIC) co-opts grassroots social movements, and how the dependence on donors limits what nonprofits can say or do—especially concerning Palestine. Yet the NPIC is rarely analyzed as a whole system. This article analyzes th...
